If you can ascertain that the temperature of the soup itself was between 140°F and 70°F for only two hours or less, then I'd say you could either reheat it or refrigerate it and would not have to throw it out.
If you can't determine that, then there is no way that a food safety person would say that it is OK to use.
You, ultimately, are the person who will have to determine whether or not to use it.

Poultry that is cooked can be a potentially hazardous food if not properly refrigerated. Once the temperature has gotten above 40 degrees Fahrenheit for more than 2 hours, the food should be discarded. The food might not actually appear spoiled but foodbourne pathogens and toxins do not make their presence known until many hours after the food has been consumed. The two hour guideline is conservative, but it would be better to discard the food than to suffer the consequences.
